Where to live (apartment) in Vegas?

[TwoNiner]

OK. I'm considering moving to Vegas. I've been looking online and comparing apartments at some apartment review sites, and so far I've figured out that there are alot of shitty apartment complexes in Las Vegas. Even a lot of the higher price range places seem to have quite a few complaints about crime, overall crappy complex etc. I was wondering if any of you guys had any information you could share on where the best locations to live might be. It seems like I might have a compromise between how close I live to the strip and the number of car stereos I go through in a year. Any info on nice places to live or traffic around town would be great. Or if you have any experience with nice apartments that would of course be great too.

Thanks,
Alan
